A Raploch man who caused a disturbance at a city charity shop as well as the street outside was this week jailed for a year and six months.
Peter McGowan, of Mossgiel Avenue, had pleaded guilty to charges of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner at Shelter in Barnton Street on August 13 last year as well as carrying a lock knife without reasonable excuse. The offences occurred while 34-year-old McGowan was on bail on another matter.
Fiscal depute Amy Sneddon told Stirling Sheriff Court on Wednesday that a witness had been working in the store when McGowan entered the shop about 3pm.
